j 9 suited is it good to play

[Madukwe]

good, but all depends on the river

if not a flush draw or straight draw on river, fold it

[homerbush]

j 9 suited is it good to play

bad in a full table game. You play hands like this you will go broke fast.

Depends on the flop, J,J,9 could make you a lot of money. Also depends at what price. Especially at a full table.

[Pajda]

It's got potential, but you want to see cheap flop.

[VegasDave]

You can't really call a hand like that "good" or "bad", it totally depends. How many raises were there in front of you, if any? What position are you in? What are the blinds? Etc etc.

If you are a beginner, I'd suggest just laying that hand down, because it is the type of hand that can get you into a lot of trouble post flop. If the flop comes 10 Q 6 or 2 spades, are you comfortable calculating your pot odds and suggested pot odds? If the flop comes K J 2, you'll have some tough decisions to make. Sticking to big hands makes post-flop play a lot easier.

If you are strong post-flop, I'd definitely play a hand like that in late position if there were no raises. In early position or up against a raise, I'd lay that down.

[coldhardfacts]

I LOVE that had. So many possibilities...HIDDEN possibilities that can make you alot of money. I'll always limp in with it in early position (will fold, though, if there's a big raise and/or raise then a re-raise). I'll always call a raise with it in late position.

Agree with Dave, though - not a good hand for beginning players to mess around with.

[always2away]

Straightforward starting hand with no additional information.

Suited gives you about 3 percentage points advantage. Not really enough to make a big enough difference to call.

Middle area connector. Really gonna have to hit the flop and even then if you find yourself four-flushed and/or drawing to a straight, do you have the discipline to lay the hand down if the betting is not supported by the odds?

If no, it is better to muck the hand pre-flop and wait for the premiums...higher end pocket pairs, AK, AQ, and play some ABC poker.

If yes, with a cooperative flop, you can do a lot of damage with a suited connector.

[MrAlonso]

Donkeys hand. I mean yes you will win sometimes, and JUST sometime and will loose often... Even if u hit J in most cases ull be behind so it is just a good way to loose your bankroll...

I agree totally on this do not get to committed though..

[greywind50]

If you have low blinds, big stack ,late position and a passive preflop betting table; why not take a chance and limp in. If you don't connect on the flop it's easy to fold.

[Fishhead]

I like 7-9 suited and 8-10 suited better.

Playing suited gappers are me speciality in NL holdem..............I do very well with them.

I raise with these hands about 6x more often then I do with A-K............

[reno cool]

my fav hand, but you really have to play it well.

[bobbyfk]

depends on your position..late position i might play it depending on the table

[davidchong]

i like hands involved with J... J7, J8, J9, J10,

you can bet, but after flop if you dont have at least a proyect for flush or Straight.. fold it....

[cmerunoveru]

Any two cards will do, just have to know how to play them.

[ryanspeer2001]

J 9 suited is my favorite hand also. I know its not a great hand and that it can cause a lot of trouble but I've had relatively solid success with it in Limit ring games.

[bettilimbroke999]

Raise it up big preflop, get em fearing your power, then if you get a flop like ak2 just fukin push theyll have to assume you flopped a set or top two, then after they fold and ask you what you had flip over your j9 and say all I had was a BIG PAIR

Position is key, more of a tournament hand i would play but not as much in cash game, but it really matters on how loose or tight the players are playing on ur table

[EmpireMaker]

It's OK for a cheap flop in late position. I don't get very excited when I pick it up but any hand can be a winner if you play it right or if the river runs right.

[TheIntegrityKid]

i have a cousin that plays stuff like Jack 9 suited VERY AGGRESSIVE all the time and when he takes down an A K or pocket pair, he pumps his fist and screams all loud... shit is funny!

[SamsNCharge99]

J9 suited is my favorite hand

DO WORK

[SBR Lou]

Any hand is worth betting with in the right situation.

Are you in position?
How many players are at table?
Blinds/stack sizes?
Cash game/SNG?

J9 is a far better hand for cash game play than tournament play unless you're raising with it.

[SlickFazzer]

position, chip stack, types of players.....few factors to consider

[Bogart45]

Bad, unless you are on the button or small blind and can see it cheap.

[johnnyutah69]

depends on position and if someone has raised in front of you
